Wow, grave dig. Yeah mate, both businesses in Oz are still making bellhousings to suit the 1uzfe to the 4runner gearboxes. These two company's do them. Home - Dellow Conversions Castlemaine Rod Shop I'm not sure what wiring is available these days, but you could try Sideshows Performance...

Welcome from another Aussie 4runner owner!! :cool:

Might be an aftermarket grill.....I fitted a chrome after market grill to mine and it didn't have a spot for the V6 badge that was fitted to my original grill.

I recently had 315/75 R17 Mickey Thomson MTZ's fitted to my 2nd gen and I love them......very smooth ride for an agressive tyre, and have performed awesome offroad so far too!! Have only done about 5000kms on them so far, but they look like they'll wear pretty good!

Thanks mate ;): Yeah, ran the 37's for the weekend trip up the beach.....they wen't great, but they do scrub a little.....but look awesome!!

LOL.....glad you like it mate :cool:...........and I think you mean better on the 35's than the 37's......I haven't had 39's on my 4runner...........yet :D For anyone that is interested, I did a little write up on my Lexus V8 conversion on Yotatech.....it can be found here...

I've got TJM Deluxe Flares on mine.....i reckon they look great! they screw to the bottom of the guard, so depending on where you rust is they might not work....

Phew more

Heres a phew from over the years..... In some water

Nah, since I originally had the 3.0l V6 it already has the stronger tranny, so just got an adpater kit to bolt of the Lexus V8 to it......everything else seems to be coping fine with the extra power.

Glad you's all like it :D With the 35's on the 4runner, it actually does still 'just' fit.....but since we are living at the mother in laws while we save for a house deposit, the garage is usually full anyway, so the 4runner stays outside.......I do get one half of it but....which is filled...

I had a drop in K&N for my V6 in my 94 4runner before I did the V8 conversion..... I didn't notice any improvement in mileage, and only slight increase in performance....throttle response was better. I did the ISR mod a phew months later, and this gave better improvements. Keep in mind the...

Just thought I'd start a thread to see how many Aussie's are on the forum.....
